Luke (Bay City, MI)
Another work day. Another Morning Buzz!!! Good Morning Buzz!!!
Paul (Ft Worth)
Michael Vick, Brett Favre, Michael Phelps. Ok, I've got the quota out of the way. Let's talk about something interesting...like Bacon.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Good morning, people! Hope everyone's having a good one so far.
Scott (Brewtown)
Good Morning, gooood morning....to you, and you , and you....
Anthony (NY)
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Ryan (NY)
You forgot Halladay Paul, come on.
Tom (River North)
Mmm...bacon.
stephanie (cincy)
10:03 and no sign of Buzz.
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
Uhhhhh, my clock says 10:01.
Brett Favre (via mobile)
Favre reporting for duty! What's up ya'll?
Clay (Charlotte)
Buzz, you broke it.
Ryan (NY)
10:02
Josh Schmidt (Dighton, MA)
wow an NBA chat at 3pm! about time ESPN
Buzzmaster (10:03 AM)
About time for what exactly?
stacy (georgetown ky)
hey guys what up?
Quagmire (Your Pants)
All right. Giggiddy giggidy
Marc (Charlotte)
Computer problems are the pulse.
The Suits (Bristol)
Late again!
Buzzmaster (10:03 AM)
I started at 10 on the dot on my computer clock. Bite me.
Buzzmaster (10:03 AM)
Look at the time stamp.
Scott (Brewtown)
Umm Josh, It't not even August and you want an NBA chat? Puuuuhhhhlllleeease!
Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)
People with lives > People concerned about NBA chats in July
Clay (Charlotte)
I hope Farve starts doing commentary on TV, then he can turn into the next Madden and the cycle will continue...
Matt (Jacksonville)
Why does KC Joyner always have to chat at the same time as SNTV? I would like to participate in both
Josh Schmidt (Dighton, MA)
well it has been weeks since ESPN had an NBA chat. ESPN slacking as usual.
Buzzmaster (10:04 AM)
It's been two weeks. What exactly would you like them to talk about?
Cliff Lee (Philly)
Someone get me a Cheese steak for breakfast.
Greg (boston)
Buzz, it's been way too long, pleasure to make your acquantence again...
Mark Shapiro (Cleveland, OH)
Hey Buzz, I don't know why people are so angry about the Cliff Lee trade. We not only got 4 prospects that will probably never work out, I also worked this sweet fleece sweater into the deal.
Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)
People geeked for an NBA chat in JULY need to get lives.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Good morning all. Less than 90 minutes left in my work day. This is a good day.
Jonathan (Madtown)
NBA? Who wants to talk summer league? I thought the NBA season did not start till May?
stephanie (cincy)
Buzz, is your clock in sync with Big Ben? Cause mine is
stacy (georgetown ky)
guys guys be nice or no chatting and when is lunch chat?
Matt (Jacksonville)
Bite me? Did that beat out "Eat my shorts" in your head, Buzz?
Chad Ford (Hawaii)
Hey Josh, the weather is great here! That good enough for you?
Tom (River North)
Why would we need an NBA chat right now? Free agency has been over for almost a month, and games don't start until late October.
Greg (boston)
In what rational world does Martin Gortat make 7 million per year and Allen Iverson can't even get a sniff
Buzzmaster (10:06 AM)
I also don't agree with Gortat making that kind of cash. But Iverson not getting a sniff is probably the smartest thing NBA teams have done in a long time.
Rickey Henderson (Hall of Fame)
Someone should trade for Rickey at the deadline.
Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)
That's a 10 yard penalty on Stacy for not knowing when lunch chat is. Still 1st down.
Dan (Buffalo, NY)
Shapiro got fleeced.
Ryan (NY)
You the man Chad, where's Warrick gonna sign?
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Ah a 'bite me,' from our chat leader. Glad to see he's getting back to his roots.
Scott (Brewtown)
Why would you sync your clock with Ben Roethlisberger?
stephanie (cincy)
Anyone read a about a guy from South Carolina who was caught having sex with a horse? The kicker: It was the SECOND TIME
Buzzmaster (10:07 AM)
I don't even know what to say.
Chris (Philly)
I was never a huge AI guy, but I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of him.
JB (TX)
"Eat" anything never loses out in Buzz's head. Come on now...
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Matt: You can multi-chat. I do it often.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Colin is singing on his show again this morning. I like Colin but he should be banned from singing on air.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Well I'd say you haven't seen the last of Favre either.
Chris (Philly)
Buzz, you can start with "It wasn't me, I swear"
Marc (Charlotte)
How about the kid who stole a car because he didn't want to go to church?
Luke (Bay City, MI)
Colin doesn't really sing. It is more like an interpretive reading.
Reggie (Boston)
Jim Rice swayed me about Halladay last night. As much as I love Buchholz, Halladay is just awesome. Imagine being the lucky team to face Beckett, Doc and Lester in the playoffs!
Buzzmaster (10:10 AM)
Are you saying before you wouldn't have traded Buccholz for Halladay?
Trevor (Texas)
If teams keep pursuing Favre, then we will keep hearing about him. Favre only considers coming back when teams are after him...leave the guy alone and he'll retire peacefully.
Matt (IN)
You needed to be swayed over Halladay? What? The guy's been awesome for a long time
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
I saw the 7 year old run into his garage, with the cop on his tail. Kid drove pretty good really.
stephanie (cincy)
I saw the one on the kid who stole his Dad' car. Funniest thing is when he jumps out of car and runs from the cops.
Buzzmaster (10:11 AM)
He's a quick learner.
Reggie (Boston)
I wouldn't have traded Buchholz, Bowden, and others for him, no. They'd only be getting him for a year and a half probably, Buchholz could be a stud for many years.
Buzzmaster (10:11 AM)
Really?
Jessica Simpson (via mobile)
Why are we talking about that old guy who sells Wranglers? He's not returning to the WNBA people, duh!
Trevor (Texas)
Rachel, try a flamethrower. Usually always works.
Bruce (CT)
yeh rachel, throw a michael vick jersey under the bed
stephanie (cincy)
Kid is fast for 7 years old. Maybe Lane Kiffin will make him an offer.
tom* (parkville, md)
I see the spin-off - Cops: Grade School Edition
JB (TX)
Something tells me that's not the last time that kid will be running from cops in his life.
Matt (Jacksonville)
Or Buchholz could be a bust. You know you are getting a stud with Halladay
Dan (Buffalo, NY)
Key word Reggie. COULD be. halladay WILL dominate for a year and a half.
Louis (Montreal)
Bucholz COULD be a stud Halladay IS a stud.
Chris (Philly)
Boston is one of the few teams with enough money to retain Halliday after his contract is over.
Ryan (San Diego)
I think the Padres should trade for Halladay...he can really help them down the stretch
Reggie (Boston)
Obviously the Red Sox top management shares my thinking, Buzz, so don't act like I'm an idiot for saying it.
Buzzmaster (10:14 AM)
It's called negotiating. Of course they're going to try and get more for less. But, who's to say the Red Sox management aren't idiots for thinking the same thing?
Jonathan (Madtown)
Memo: Phillies to the Indians, Suckers!!!!
Steve (Seattle,WA)
I'd say throw a bag of cobras under the bed.
Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)
Morning Buzz Nation.
Matt (IN)
I never wanted to go to church either, but it never occured to me to try stealing the car.
Matt (Jacksonville)
I am hoping the Cubs swoop in and get Halladay for their whole farm system
ted (cape cod)
what if a stranger was also under your bed? who would you get out first?
alex (Monroe, MI)
dodgers need to get a better pitcher
Ryan (NY)
Booo you rastall
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
I tried to watch the Cardinals game last night. Just couldn't stay awake for 15 innings.
Greg (boston)
Bucholz is a young stud, I can see why some might be reluctant. He has shown he is more than a prospect, he'll have to show it consistently but Halladay, Lester, Beckett 1-2-3 in the playoffs for 2 years is too much to pass up
Trevor (Texas)
Look there is no problem a flamethrower can't fix.
Luke (Bay City, MI)
I would hire one of those World's Strongest Men to pick up the bed so I could grab the dog.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
BOOOOOO RASTALL!!!!!!
Anthony (NY)
Ricciardi wants the Yanks to start biding have Boston NY bidding war, but Yanks want Washburn not Halladay
stephanie (cincy)
In all fairness to the kid, it was his Dad's car
Craig (Wisconsin)
Now that the Brewers are in a slump, do you expect them to be buyers or sellers, or will they stand pat and wait for next year?
Paul (Ft Worth)
RGR > Rastall > Ryan (SD) > The Pulse > Hurricane Jeff
Matt (IN)
That Cardinals - Dodgers game was a great game. Lots of big time plays.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
The one thing that MIGHT be deterring teams from trading for Halladay is fear that they might not be able to sign him. Is it worth risking four top level prospects for a two month rental? I guess it all depends on who you are.
Buzzmaster (10:16 AM)
One year, two month rental.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
How about just move the bed?
Nolan (Hartford)
Interesting play by the Orleans Cardinals of the Cape Cod League to switch to the Orleans Firebirds.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Canadians for Americans. Dempster and Harden for Halladay and Hill. It's fair.
Roy Halladay (Toronto for the moment)
Reggie, did it ever occur to you that maybe *I* don't want to play in Boston?
Clay (Charlotte)
Paul, I think you have Rastall a little high on that list. Besides, RGR is in a class of his own.
Ryan (San Diego)
C average...I'll take it
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Seriously, a Brewers question?
Louis (Montreal)
Halladay is not a common rental, what you're getting is two postseasons of one of the best pitchers in the game. And a workhorse who won't tire your relievers
John (Miami,FL)
Scooby Snacks?
Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)
I thought we booed Brian.
Buzzmaster (10:18 AM)
Nope.
Buzzmaster (10:18 AM)
Stop thinking.
Greg (boston)
Roy, would you prefer to keep on keeping on the sub .500 train???
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Thanks for the correction, Buzz, but even a one year, two month rental is going to make some teams shy away from that trade. Just saying.
Reggie (Boston)
Considering Boston is on your 4 team list....Would you rather continue to rot in Canada, Roy?
Paul (Ft Worth)
That is not THE list....just a sampling
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Oh, we do boo Brian. Who said we can't boo more than one person?
Luke (Bay City, MI)
I love Scooby Snacks!
Big Z (Buffet)
I would like to be in the 500 sub line.
Anthony (NY)
Boo Brian Boo Zach. there we go
Matt (Jacksonville)
Roy needs to get out of Toronto. It is the bike theft capital of the world.
Louis (Montreal)
I would rather be in the 5$ sub line
Matt (Jacksonville)
I think Anthony (NY) needed to be on that list. Not only does he like the Yankees, he also frequently uses emoticons in the chat.
Chris (Philly)
For the record, this is probably the longest anyone in Philly has gone without booing someone who deserves it.
Urban Meyer (Gainesville)
You're either for rotting in Canada or against it. If you're for it, Neil Young will be performing a special show up in 37F during halftime.
Reggie (Boston)
Pats camp opens up today here in Boston. Can't wait for the upcoming season with TB back in business!
Anthony (NY)
Buzz 70% tile for weight for ur height, not bad.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
The boo birds are out in the Morning Buzz.
Trevor (Texas)
Man, you Canadians...it's not 5$ sub line, the correct punctuation would be $5 sub line...GET OUT OF CANADA ROY!
dan (chicago)
i'm pretty sure the stranger would hide under my bed if he met my MIL.
Anthony (NY)
I think Matt has to be on that list for pointing out the obvious.
Greg (boston)
I worry about the age of the Patriots running backs, though. Weird fact: There are 4 RB's over 32 in the NFL and 3 are on the Pats roster...Who am i kidding, the Pats just may go undefeated.
Roger Goodell (Chat Commish)
All newcomers need to recognize that the chat has a strict no emoticon policy. Violate this and you are at Ed's mercy. The rules are clear, the penalties severe.
alex (Monroe, MI)
who wants to watch baseball in canada
jillnorman (norman)
Whassup, Buzz
Otis (NYC)
a friend of mine is getting married this weekend,Buzz.It got me thinking When you see your mother-in-law, or mom of your s.o., how do you greet her? Hug? Kiss on cheek? He wants to know of what's normal.
Buzzmaster (10:23 AM)
Hug is cool, I would think.
Brett favre (Mississippi)
Come talk to me November 1st
Matt (Jacksonville)
There is some serious dissension among MB chatters today
Matt (Jacksonville)
Otis, I always find a pat on the butt to be wildly appropriate
Louis (Montreal)
When I see the prices at Yankee Stadium and at Fenway, Toronto doesn't seem so bad. Summer is nice in Toronto
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Agreed, Matt. We seem to be pretty chippy for a Thursday. Come on, people, there's only one day left till the weekend.
Anthony (NY)
kiss on the lips Otis.
Trevor (Texas)
Don't worry Brett, if teams want you, you'll be getting beckoned. You would be foolish not to consider.
Buzzmaster (10:26 AM)
So all my spraying of bee killing spray near where I've seen the bees flying around the side of BuzzMansion hasn't worked.
Clay (Charlotte)
Kiss, no tongue.
jillnorman (norman)
High five, Otis
JB (TX)
Speaking of in-laws whatever happened to Jeff (Iowa)? Did he finally run off w/his sis-in-law?
Anthony (NY)
There is a hotel inside the stadium, I mean connected to the stadium in Toronto, I awesome.
Greg (boston)
It's kind of funny when the only non angry folks today seem to be the ones from Boston...
Ryan (NY)
Less than 2 hours till mets game, woo-hoo. Doing what they do best the last 4 games, givin us false hope.
Trevor (Texas)
Not for me...today is my last day this week...suck it.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Today is my Friday. I leave at 6am tomorrow morning for a 14 hour drive to Georgia.
Trevor (Texas)
Buzz...flamethrower...now.
Buzzmaster (10:26 AM)
Good call.
Terminix (Bristol)
Buzz, call us.
Shane (Idaho)
When did you spray Buzz? got to do it in the morning to kill them all...
Buzzmaster (10:27 AM)
In the evening, but they came back in the morning.
Matt (Jacksonville)
I always kinda liked the Red Sox simply because I was a Cubs fan and they felt our pain. Now that I encounter Red Sox fans, though, they annoy me as much as Yankees fans. Go Rays!
Anthony (NY)
I go to Portugal on Saturday for 2 weeks... no morning buzz for 2 weeks.
Louis (Montreal)
If you don't find the nest, it's pointless. Go look around at night, bee don't get out as much
Greg (boston)
By the way, do you think I ended my last break up the wrong way. Got on the bus today, and somehow she lives near me and she ducked so she didn't have to look at me...too funyy
Matt (Jacksonville)
Time to just burn down the house and start again, Buzz
Buzzmaster (10:28 AM)
Not funny.
Marc (Charlotte)
I thought they were wasps, Buzz.
Buzzmaster (10:28 AM)
Apparently I was wrong. I still say they are, but LadyBuzz says bees.
Paul (Ft Worth)
Today is my Thursday. Just like most normal people.
Brandon (Albany)
Buzz....pull a trojan horse......get a huge jar of honey to pull them out and then sneak attack them with the spray
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Just put one of your socks near the nest, Buzz. That should keep them and every other living thing within a 10 mile radius away.
Anthony (NY)
I once had a bee nest on the water slide in my backyard, couldn't use it for a year they wouldn't go away.
Shane (Idaho)
Try the a.m. It will work
Alanis Morrisette (Canada)
Is it ironic that Buzz has Bee/Wasp problems?
Matt (Jacksonville)
Shouldn't a guy called the Buzzmaster be able to differentiate between bees and wasps?
Matt (IN)
You could always adopt a racoon as a pet. They will eat the nests and seem oblivious to getting stung.
Reggie (Boston)
ONB, Buzz?
Buzzmaster (10:29 AM)
Let's do it.....
Charlie (Michigan)
Do you guys think in order for the Red Sox to get back to the World Series they need to add another pitcher/ big bat?
Mike Davis (Portland,ME)
Any chance the Red Sox can get Adrian Gonzalez?????% that Red Sox get Halladay?
J-Hill (Georgia)
Does anyone else think that MLB Umpire Bill Hohn should be punished for what happened last night in the Braves/Marlins game?
David (Bay Area)
Even with the addition of Cliff Lee to lead the Phillies rotation with Cole Hamels, recent performances by Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain have proven that the Giants have the best one two punch at the top of their rotation in all of baseball.
Josh (Norman, OK)
With the cardinals acquiring Holliday,DeRosa, and Lugo don't you think it's time for them to go get some pitching?
Tiege (Idaho)
Where can I watch Sports Nation online?
Austin (Wilmington, DE)
At first, I was fairly disappointed about not getting Roy Halladay, but when I saw the Phillies wouldn't have to lose Happ OR Drabek OR any of our top outfielders? It was like a dream come true. The Phils are now the NL favorite.
Dave (Mass)
Brett Farve is comming back. He Does not want anything to do with spring training Im surprised ESPN are not talking this aspect up
Buzzmaster (10:29 AM)
And that's it...
Nate (Madison)
Matt, aren't those bears not raccoons?
Dave Coulier (Full House)
Hey Alanis, what's up?
Chris (Philly)
Violence is never the answer Buzz. Just talk to them, they seem resonable.
Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)
The ONB is the suck.
Drew (Buffalo)
Worst. ONB. Ever.
Racoon (Buzz's Back Yard)
Wait a minute, you want me to eat what?
Louis (Montreal)
Pretty thin... and no RGR
Reggie (Boston)
Why do people post trade suggestions in the ONB? Do you think Theo Epstein is browsing through saying hmmmmm, this one could work.
Ryan (NY)
ONB may suck, but you suck more rastall
Ben (Madison, WI)
Rastall is the suck.
Rick Pitino (Louisville)
Brett Favre isn't walking through that door folks...oh wait... maybe he is.
Matt (IN)
Nate, may be bears too. But I had a nest underneath this fake tree on my porch. One night I heard a loud banging noise. I flipped on the light and a 'coon had toppled the tree and was eating the nest. The next morning there were dead bees everywhere on the porch.
Buzzmaster (10:31 AM)
That's awesome.
Ryan (San Diego)
I dont think Pitino has "folks" in his vocab
Theo Epstein (Boston)
I might be......
Pete (NC)
Here's a trivia question for you Buzz. Who hit the most homeruns in 2005?
Buzzmaster (10:32 AM)
Very funny Petey.
Brandon (Albany)
A racoon stole a bag of marshmellows from me once
Jim Calhoun (Storrs)
Hey Rastall, get some facts and come back and see me!
Greg (boston)
An asterik hit the most home runs
Ben (Madison, WI)
A raccoon once watched me play Guitar Hero through the patio door.
Scott (Brewtown)
Work interfered again, but I am glad that I missed the ONB and Zach Rastall! Double bonus points!
Spelling Police (Everywhere)
Several of you are under arrest for failing to spell raccoon with two C's
Marc (Charlotte)
I was playilng golf once and a bird took a pack of unopened crackers out of one of the carts.
Bob (Lowell)
Just talk to them Buzz. Tell themj if they don't bee have they have to bee gone.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
We don't get bears and raccoons in our area but lots of groundhogs and skunks in yards.
Paul (Ft Worth)
2005 home run leader: A-Rod. 48 HR's
Buzzmaster (10:34 AM)
Try again.
tom* (parkville, md)
Real Buzz = Doctor Doolittle
Scott (Brewtown)
Bob, that was weaksauce!
Ryan (San Diego)
I was raised by a pack of wild raccoons
Matt (Jacksonville)
Scott, just tell your boss that you are unavailabe from 10-11 every morning. I'm sure he will understand
Matt (IN)
I am guilty, Spelling Police. But I'm going to rip this ticket up right in front of you.
jillnorman (norman)
i got rid of ants with mint plants, but don't know about bees/wasps. You can't tell a bee from a wasp?
Buzzmaster (10:36 AM)
If everyone's so darn smart here then tell me, how do you tell a bee from a wasp?
Ben (Madison, WI)
Wasps have a more defined "stinger". Bees are cute and cuddly.
stephanie (cincy)
Wasps don't have stripes Duh
Paul (Ft Worth)
wasps are thinner and more aggressive...bees tend to like trash cans
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Wait, 2005 wasn't the year a certain overweight CF in Atlanta had his 'pact with the devil,' season, was it?
Matt (Jacksonville)
Bees talk like Jerry Seinfeld. Wasps don't.
Tom (River North)
Bees are yellow and black. Wasps are reddish. And jerks. They'll sting you without provocation.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Bees can only sting you once. Wasps can sting you as many times as they want.
Buzzmaster (10:38 AM)
So I have to wait until the sting me to find out?
Matt (Jacksonville)
Bees make honey. Wasps don't
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, they look different.
Brandon (Albany)
Maybe a bee mated with a wasp and made a super insect that is immune to the spray
Nate (Madison)
Wasps can be yellow and black too. Or hornets are basically all black wasps.
Scott (Brewtown)
Bees have one body portion wasps have 2 separated by a skinny little mid section
Internet Tough Guy (Cyberspace)
Where do you live, Buzz? I'll come over and whip the crap out of those stupid bees. They'll wish they were never born.
Buzzmaster (10:39 AM)
What about yellow jackets? Where are they?
Buzzmaster (10:39 AM)
Where are they compared to wasps/bees?
Buzzmaster (10:39 AM)
You guys are all like my own personal little entomolgists.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
If they are wood bees they will be big,black,fuzzy things. They usually don't sting. Yellow jackets are yellow striped and are MEAN!
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Yellow Jackets rank middle of the pack in the ACC of course.
Anthony (NY)
could be killer Bees Buzz then ur in trouble
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Yellowjackets are wasps.
Ted (Austin, TX)
I want to ask about mud daubers? They look alot like wasps too.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Wasps are Eurpoean, Bees are American and Queen Bees, the fat ones, are South American.
Nate (Madison)
Here Buzz....do you're own research. http://www.ebeehoney.com/beeid.html
jillnorman (norman)
If they were killer bees, Buzz would not be with us.
Ryan (San Diego)
There are no killer bees on the east coast
Pete (NC)
Buzz, go to New Orleans and look at their NBA floor. Then go to Georgia Tech and look at theirs. Then go back to New Orleans and watch their dance team. You will then know the difference.
Greg (boston)
Look at Buzz breaking out the science Vocab...How very high and mighty of you
Matt (IN)
Mud daubers are harmless but most people steer clear because they look like wasps. I have seen birds eat mud daubers before.
Scott (Brewtown)
The thing is Buzz, Bees typically will leave you alone and are somewhat docile. Wasps/Hornets are basically Bob Knight as an insect
Jay (NY)
For any Bee questions, just ask Bagwell, Biggio and Bell.
Grammar Police (On Patrol)
Pull it over, Nate. Here's your ticket for using the wrong your/you're. Be more careful next time.
Burt' (Texas)
Maybe Buzz is the leader of the bees. Or maybe Buzz is a Bee named Buzz.
Clay (Charlotte)
Speaking of hornets, when they used to do the mascot dunk contest, best dunk ever was the Charlotte Hornets mascot dunking, pulling himself up to sit on the rim, and smashing himself against the glass. Name of the dunk: Bug on the Windshield.
Ben (Madison, WI)
I think you should just buy beekeeper suits for you and LadyBuzz, and let Damon take care of it.
Mark (Boston)
There's like 5 people listening to the CEO speak at the 'town hall' on their speaker phone. Sooo annoying!!
Matt (Jacksonville)
I thought Berkman was a Killer B as well
Scott (Brewtown)
Speaking of Bees/Buzz, do you eat Honey Nut Cheerios?
Buzzmaster (10:43 AM)
Course. Best ever.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Bees are the most annoying insect of all. They never leave you alone. You can run and they'll chase you down. Yesterday a bee tried to get in my truck. I had the window up and it kept banging into the glass to get in. What's up with that?
Barack (DC)
I believe that the Grammar Police acted...uh...stupidly regarding Nate's misuse of the word your/you're.
Paul (Ft Worth)
Ah, the days of glen rice and the hornets....
Nate (Madison)
Grammar Police, don't taser me brah!
Trevor (Texas)
Mosquito=most annoying insect.
Clay (Charlotte)
No, come to south and we'll talk about mosquitos and gnats, they are the most annoying bugs ever.
Brandon (Albany)
Fruit flies are the most annoying insect....they are everywhere and so tiny you can't ever hit them
stephanie (cincy)
Cockroaches hands down are the most disgusting and annoying insect on the planet.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Honey Nut Cheerios are good, but I like Honey Bunches of Oats even better.
tom* (parkville, md)
I think those bugs that crawl into your ear and eat your brain are most annoying.
Anthony (NY)
Frosted Flakes are the only cereal I can eat..... Pure Sugar!
Clay (Charlotte)
Buzz have you ever had O's? Very underrated breakfast cereal.
Buzzmaster (10:46 AM)
Yes and yes.
Bill Brasky (SNL)
Did I ever tell you about the time I went huntin'?
chaz (sa tx)
.... am i late?
Pete (NC)
Clay, do you mean Oh's? Because those are one of those "better without milk" cereals you can eat as a snack. Very nice.
Paul (Ft Worth)
I'm guessing Clinton actually eats grape nuts creeal
Nate (Madison)
Does anyone else have to deal with earwigs? They are harmless but disgusting.
Alex (Littleton, CO)
Clay is wise - Oh's are number on on my list of breakfast cereals.
jillnorman (norman)
Shredded wheat-- must add tons of sugar
Buzzmaster (10:49 AM)
Get the frosted kind. They do it for you.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Buzz, you beat me to it. I was about to say Frosted Mini-Wheats.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Any cereal you can eat as a snack without milk is good in my book. Corn pops, Oh's, Cocoa Puffs, and Apple Jacks are all solid non-milk cereals. Chex and Crispix also fill that bill. Cheerios sauteed in butter are the bomb.
Ben (Madison, WI)
Earwigs are pretty gross.
JB (TX)
I was in Virginia once and saw some fireflys. That's all I have to add to this lame insect conversation.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Lunch: Sandwich, chips, and a soda.
Brandon (Albany)
How can anyone forget about Terrell Owens cereal....its constantly yelling on the shelves but when you go and try and get some....you can't catch it
chaz (sa tx)
buzz i had to turn down a 12000 raise. they wanted me t travel 150 miles a day... 1.5 hours each way.
Shane (Idaho)

Buzzmaster (10:55 AM)
I'm not even going to answer that.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I'm going to bug out a few minutes early today. I've got to get ready for my other job. Looks like a nice day here in PA. Hope it's nice where you are. Have a great day and see you back here for Casual Friday in the MB. Later!
Brett Favre (Hattiesburg, MS)
I've changed my mind again and decided I still have the itch to play!!
Reggie (Boston)
Just because he's in bed doesn't mean he isn't drunk yet, Bob.
Ben (Madison, WI)
Hardy har har. No, I don't drink before noon unless it's a special occasion.
Buzzmaster (10:57 AM)
There's nothing like drinking at 10 a.m. due to a special occasion.
Slash (Paradise City)
Yeah, you don't gotta get out of bed to get drunk man!
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Would someone hand Brett the cortisone cream, so he'll quit itching?

Buzzmaster (10:57 AM)
Yes. There's only one rule needed -- DON'T REPLY ALL!
Brett Favre (Hattiesburg, MS)
I still have the itch.....but i cant handle 16 weeks......i'm going to the UFL, baby......now i can hold TWO leagues hostage!!!
stephanie (cincy)
As an HR manager I would have to let the flip-flop woman that it is not appropriate business attire.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Panda Express, when you need a panda FAST!
Shane (Idaho)
yeah, stop sending so many damn e-mails and talk to people face to face or over the phone

Anthony (NY)
Breaking News: Buzz traded for Roy Halladay!
jillnorman (norman)
get off your butt and tell the person down the hall
Pete (NC)
Let's say you drive 30 minutes to work one way. If you add an hour each way, that adds say 90 miles a day. 90*5 = an extra 450 miles of driving a week. In a decent car, that's at least an extra tank of gas per week. That's 52 more tanks of gas per year. At $40 a tank, that's only $2080 more in gas. Add in additional maintenance, you still come out ahead. Take the raise.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Bye y'all, have a great day.
Trevor (Texas)
Use a lot of Schwarzenegger movie quotes like "No problem whatsoever" and "YOU ARE MINE NOW...YOU BELONG TO ME."
